Chris Quinn: News from Wizards of the Coast

We know the next set to come out will be based on the novels “Legacy of the Force,” and this set should be hitting stores, I think, by May.

So over on the SW mini’s message board, someone found the cover art to some of the boosters.

From the boxes it looks like there will be yet another Boba Fett, but also the bad girl herself, Darth Talon, from the Star Wars Legacy comic book series. The third individual on the booster cover, I cannot tell.

But on the sides of those boosters are Cade Skywalker, Wolf Sazen, Marisiah Fel. So even more characters from the Star Wars Legacy comic book series, and I think Darth Krayt has also been confirmed as being in the set.

So good news for SW mini’s fans.

The other pretty big news is that “D&D Experience” will be February 27 through March 2 in Arlington, Virginia.

At that event, attendees will be able to test out and play the upcoming Dungeons & Dragon’s Fourth Edition. Also there will be a demo of D&D Insider, the online supplement for D&D 4th edition.

The fourth edition rules for D&D releases in June.

We’ll see what happens. But I was pretty comfortable with the 3.5 version. It kicked all sorts of ass and was nicely streamlined and easy to pick up.

But the shmoe I am, I will probably rush out and get version 4, just to see what new goodies there are.

Thing is, with my son just born, my opportunities to play will be limited at best.
